Another resolution changer

---

No one else seems to be in a hurry to write a new resolution switcher so I made one myself.
I designed it mainly for Win8 on the HTC Shift but it would be easy to modify for whatever.

Some screenshots:



Features:

• Separate resolutions for desktop (1024x600) and Metro (1152x864)
• All resolutions easily changed in the .ini file or the source
• Doesn't force the desktop to show when executed in Metro (like the default switcher from HTC)
• The window that displays the resolution afterwards is optional
• A simple installer that allows you to set either of the right hand buttons to run the switcher

Rar file contains these files

• A compiled .exe
• .bat file calling the installer/uninstaller function (optional)
• .ini file containing the standard settings (optional)

You can download the source from my thread at the AutoIt forums, Resolution switcher.

To use simply extract the archive somewhere (anywhere) and run the .bat file to select which button to use, then log out/log in or restart the computer for the new settings to load.

To go back to the default settings, run the .bat again and press cancel when it asks you what button to install to.

Thank you!

Sincere thanks for this, just got my shift up and running in 8 and this is very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to do this work and for your willingness to share!

Thank you for your interest roll0ver. It's nice to see I'm not the only one that still has a Shift!

I made some updates:

• Now also detects Metro apps and not just the Start screen. I don't think I mentioned that limitation before. Oops!
• Does not jump to a lower resolution while in Metro (by default). Metro copes with resolution changes by closing all applications. Very annoying.

I have not done any work on supporting multiple monitors, but it kinda works as long as the internal display is the "main" one.

Download is in first post.
